Bounty Logbook Remarks, Apr. 27, 1788

Saturday, Apr. 26, 1788

1:00 pm Fresh Gale and Hazy Weather.

4:00 pm Saw an Ice bird, the same kind as mentioned on the 20th March. This Bird is certainly Web footed and therefore differs from the Snow Peterel at Staten Land as described by Captain Cook, but otherwise I should have supposed it to have been the Same; but I only judged of its being Web footed from seeing it in the Act of perching and I may be mistaken for it has an appearance of a Carrion Bird (altho White) as described.
